lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m going round in circles
But never feeling whole
I’m half full and you’re half empty
It’s incompatible

[Pre]
Now there’s no more “honey, I’m home”
It’s no fun sat talking alone
Now there’s no more “are you gonna eat that?”
Or “baby can you reach that?”
No more “honey, I’m home”
You’ve been gone too long

[Chorus]
We’ve been through it all, birthdays and funerals
Nothing but ghosts in our bed
Since you up and left, I wear black out of respect
If we never lived, we’re not dead

[Verse 2]
So why I am unhappy
When we weren’t happy at all?
So I’ll invite your family to light a candle
'Cause I know they’ll miss me more

[Pre]
I’m still hearing “honey, I’m home”
I’m getting used to talking alone
Now there’s no more “are you gonna eat that?”
Or “baby can you reach that?”
No more “honey, I’m home”
You’ve been gone too long

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
This should be dead to me, I’m getting closer
Was overreacting but I’ve gained my composure
Now I've found a way that I can give myself closure
Here is our funeral, and this can be over

[Chorus]
